- Atomic operations including CAS (compare-and-swap), fetch &amp; add and variants
- suitable for low-level shared-memory synchronization.
-
- The implementation is using GCC's builtin atomic operations (available in GCC &gt;=
- 4) in C wrappers called through the FFI. See these links for background:
-
- * GCC manual: &lt;https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Atomic-Builtins.html&gt;
-
- * GCC wiki: &lt;https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic&gt;
-
- /Portability/: This package is primarily developed on a Linux system, but
- should work wherever GCC &gt;= 4 is available. It has been confirmed as working
- on OSX. On Windows, it should work with Cygwin but currently fails for
- vanilla Haskell-Platform 2010.1.0.0 as it still packages GCC 3.x. An
- installer for updated versions of GCC is available at
- &lt;http://www.mingw.org/&gt; and should make this package work in connection with
- Haskell-Platform. Feedback on compatibility would be appreciated.
-
- /Testing:/ The following commands can be used to compile and run the test suite:
-
- &gt; cabal unpack bits-atomic &amp;&amp; cd bits-atomic-* # if not yet locally available
- &gt; cabal configure -ftest
- &gt; cabal build
- &gt; cabal test
-
- /Recent changes/:
-
- * 0.1.3: Documentation updates, especially on portability. No functional
- changes.
-
- * 0.1.2: Avoid using System.FilePath in Setup.hs to fix build failure on hackage
